The U.S.-Philippines trade deal imposes a XX% tariff on Filipino exports to America while granting U.S. goods zero-tariff access to Philippine markets. This asymmetric structure will reduce disposable income for Filipino citizens in three key ways:

X. Export sector contraction: The XX% tariff makes Philippine goods less competitive in the U.S. market, threatening export-dependent industries that employ millions of Filipinos. Reduced export revenue directly impacts wages and job stability.

X. Domestic market displacement: Zero-tariff access for American goods will flood Philippine markets with cheaper imports, undercutting local producers and forcing business closures. This transfers wealth from Filipino entrepreneurs to U.S. corporations.

X. Currency pressure: Reduced export earnings will weaken the Philippine peso against the dollar, making American goods more expensive despite tariff-free access. This inflation further erodes purchasing power.

The deal exemplifies how unbalanced trade terms extract wealth from partner nations. While strengthening U.S. geopolitical positioning against China, it sacrifices Filipino economic sovereignty. Real reciprocity would require symmetrical tariff structures, not this extractive model.
